RS 1800 engine issue.
Hi all this is my first post here and was wondering if you could help me with my engine in my rs1800 converted SI
just recently my car has started smoking.. quiet bad
it smoke like white smoke on idle and when i rev it a cloud of blue smoke, although after 10 mins of driving the car it seems to ease of slighly.
there dosent seem to be any water going just alot of oil
there isnt any lack in power either
Also if it comes to the point where i need a new engine, is the escort GTI engine the same? as i seen mines 128BHP the escorts 115BHP?
Thanks

it will be the valve stem seals mate, the reason it stops after a while is that its burning the oil sitting around the seals when the engine is off. ive had the same problem before, jon
